Well, in theory yes, but its not always how it works, it was one of those "What were they thinking" things. Try turning the little knob on the left side of the steering wheel all the way to the right, with the lights on. if the backlight flickers or anything, then its a faulty switch, but if it just lights up like normal, then its fine. A little note, if you have the key off and turn the lights on manually, backlight should turn on, try that, if it works, then try the same thing again with the key on, preferably in the light, or shady area, the backlight may come on, but most likely wont.
